Volunteering is a great way to give back to the community, make a difference in people's lives and experience an indescribable sense of purpose from serving others. At HRET, volunteers have the opportunity to work with horses as Horse Leaders and the riding participants as Sidewalkers.

LEADER AND SIDEWALKER

Come volunteer with us during our classes. Many of our riders require a 3:1 volunteer:rider ratio and we could not do this without your help! We have people who lead the horse during class ("Leaders") and people who help keep our riders safe by walking along the side of a rider during class. ("Sidewalkers"). 

Don't want to work directly with the horses or kids or don't have the time? We have multiple other volunteer opportunities with our program such as photographers, grant writers, fundraising committee members, and administrative work. 

Please contact us at hretvolunteer@gmail.com to learn about all the ways you can help the program.
